This innovative museum, which presents a decade of research excavations conducted by Martin Carver at the only excavated Pictish monastery at Portmahomack, relies heavily on subsidies and local authority funding.

Historic Scotland, the National Museums of Scotland and The Highland Council, are sympathetic to the cause but don’t have the resources to support the museum.
